Legislation to Curb ORVs at Hatteras Inspired by Lies

This just in from Derb Carter of the Southern Environmental Law Center:

ORV Lobby: We, the people, spoke as a virtually unanimous voice in recommending practical solutions for management of the seashore. However, the National Park Service did not listen to the clearly expressed will of the people and incorporate our concerns and suggestions.

Carter: The vast majority of the public comments on the DEIS/proposed plan and proposed special regulation supported restriction and management of ORV use to protect wildlife and create vehicle free areas for pedestrians.

Sticky: My Past Articles

Scott Church has been kind enough to archive almost all my past articles. This was out of the blue. Thanks so much Scott! I really appreciate this. Remember I owe you a few striper trips to Cape Cod or albie trips to Montauk or, preferably, both.
